    I had 2.5. Really hoped he would miss last free throw. Clock would start and at least I would have shot if what happened happened.

    Was still great game to watch and fun way to kick off day!

    We getting video play today funny?

    Mich up 8 with the ball under 30 seconds. Mich misses 2 front ends of 1 and 1's, Ok St banks in a 40 foot 3 pointer and then they throw in a 35 footer at the buzzer to go from 4 down to 1.

    Glad I had Mich ML. Mich-2 would have been some kind of brutal. That's why you never lay 1-2.5 in baskets!

    I mean you guys remember me betting Michigan at +800 to win the Big Ten tourney and having a nearly perfect Big Ten tourney bracket on CBS. The thing is, I thought for sure Oklahoma State would cover the +2.5, but I ended up picking them in the Sweet Sixteen in a lot of my brackets even though I knew they were bad because they hadn't been to the Sweet 16 since 2005, have an intelligent coach for once (SFA- Underwood), and Michigan is being incredibly overvalued by people who didn't even know they'd win the B10 tourney.

    And, of course, logic plays out and I lose my money on OKST +120, I lose my Sweet 16 team on most of my bracks, and I'm furious because what I knew from a basketball perspective ended up happening. It's really sickening to me honestly. While Evans was pulling up, I immediately said, "Yeah now he'll hit this and I'll regret not taking OSU +2.5".

    It's just all around terrible. What a huge $ loss. I'm probably gonna sit out the rest of the day because I'm so rattled and mad that I trusted this stupid OK State team to break some trends and make the public. Well the public did lose, but so did I because I played ML. Fu--!!!! And to think this crappy team was favored -2 against Kansas a few weeks ago (lost but still, they were favored against a fricken 1 seed)

    When those stupid CBS commentators said, "I like Oklahoma State here" with a lot of confidence, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Ugh... I'm really upset. Sucks to lose money and bracks like this, on a team that you don't even think is good. Then again, I made out with Xavier +110, another team I think sucks, doing the same thing I tried to do today with OSU.

    You have no business betting if you picked Oklahoma State today. Michigan was always the right play, it's painful how obvious it was. Well, a fool and his money ...

    Only greedy bastards take -2.5 or less points in lieu of simply betting the ML. You deserve to lose in situations like this.

    I did the opposite. Smh, I deserved to win. I'm so mad right now. I knew they'd cover, just got greedy because my ego told me this low IQ orange and black crappy team would beat the yellow and blue crappy team.

    Games don't land on 1 or 2 much at all compared to 3,4, and 5. Laying -2 is nothing to me. Takes an awful break for it to matter

    Overreact to one bad break with -2. Look at a push chart and decide

    I hate laying vig. To me, the odds of mich winning by 1 or 2 there are not worth the extra 40 cents juice you have to lay.

    No way can you convince me that those games land on 1 or 2 enough to make up that juice in long run.

    I will never bet a team -1 to -3.5 in basketball for this reason. I will just take ML and pay the juice everytime.

    You're right.

    Better off betting -2 or -2.5 than taking favorite ML. Just happened to be today was one of those times where it mattered.

    Right. I've been doing this for 20 years now. Vig is something I have come to realize is tough to overcome. In hoops I have started selling points on most games. Same in football. Selling a point or 2 and getting + odds has been what keeps me above water this season
